Norma, a South Korean quantum security company founded in 2011 by Jung Hyun-Chul, a Ph.D. in Computer Engineering from Korea University, is poised to be one of the forerunners in the quantum security industry. With quantum computing’s breakthrough in computing speed, Norma’s Q Care Connect Series provides cutting-edge post-quantum cryptography (PQC) technology, also known as quantum encryption, to future-proof digital security.
At the Asia Quantum.Tech Seminar in Singapore last April, Norma’s director, Shin Dong-geol, demonstrated the vulnerabilities of current encryption protocols by breaking RSA cryptography, the most widely used public key encryption algorithm used in financial joint certificates, in a quantum computing environment. The 14-bit RSA encryption was broken in just 2 hours. This showcases the importance of quantum security in today’s digital landscape.
Norma’s Talent Pool and Global Expansion
Norma’s talent pool comprises master’s and doctoral-level professionals in the field of quantum computing, actively recruited to keep the company at the forefront of the industry. With its main research facility in Seoul, Norma has expanded its operations globally, including five branches in South Korea, the US, Europe, Hong Kong, and China. This expansion shows that Norma is the leading company in South Korea, with significant progress in the quantum security field.
Norma’s Q Care Connect Series for Future-Proof Digital Security
The Q Care Connect series is designed to be compatible and easily integrated with existing network infrastructures. This technology suite futureproofs the safeguards IoT devices in smart homes and work environments. HDC Labs, one of South Korea’s top smart building solution companies, currently uses this technology suite. The Q Care Connect series is poised to revolutionize the quantum security industry, providing cutting-edge post-quantum cryptography technology for future-proof digital security.
Norma’s Commitment to the Future of Quantum Computing
With projections for the quantum computing market to grow from US $712.2 million in 2022 to US $4,758.0 million by 2029 at a CAGR of 31.2%, countries globally have invested billions in research to prepare for the disruptive possibilities of quantum computing. South Korea has allocated over US $51 million to develop core quantum computing technologies and power their next generation of ICT capabilities.
“As quantum computing capabilities become accessible in the near future, our information security has to keep up. We are excited to be at the forefront of this space, working with many different industry partners. We are committed to always being a step ahead of any potential threats,” says Jung Hyun-Chul, founder of Norma.
